The City of Greer, South Carolina, is one of the fastest-growing cities in the region.

All that growth means more drivers, more subdivisions, and more pressure on the road network. And like every growing city, Greer has a limited budget and a long list of streets competing for it.

So how do they keep up?

They stopped waiting for roads to fail and shifted to a Best-First pavement preservation strategy.

"We're able to treat probably 10 times as many roads with HA5 as we would with just a full reconstruction," said Nathan Jackson, Assistant City Engineer for the City of Greer. "That's a lot more taxpayers that are feeling the benefit."

By treating roads while they're still in good condition, Greer extends pavement life at a fraction of the cost of reconstruction. Same budget. Ten times the reach.

Why worry about your roads in the first place? Well, because they are usually the most valuable asset a community owns. Roads are expensive and replacement costs are getting higher. Failure to maintain your roads is a sure way to either drain your reserves, or face a special assessment when the next major road project is needed.

They key is to maintain your roads before they need expensive rehabilitation.

Not all surface treatments are considered equal.

As asphalt deteriorates, the needs of the roads change.

That's why a well-rounded pavement preservation strategy should focus on keeping good roads in good condition but also include other solutions in the "toolbox" for when the condition of the asphalt degrades.

The key to extending the life of your asphalt is using the right treatment on the right road at the right time. Neglecting this can result in premature deterioration, leading to wasted spend on surface treatments and costly repairs down the road.

If you're unsure which solutions are right for your roads, reach out for a pavement assessment. We can help you tailor a preservation strategy that maximizes the life of your asphalt assets and protects your budget.

Taking proactive measures early is the most effective way to maximize the lifespan of asphalt.

Research by the Foundation for Pavement Preservation shows that most oxidative aging occurs within the first 2-4 years of an asphalt surface’s life. During this time, essential oils in the asphalt are depleted, reducing its flexibility and increasing the likelihood of cracks and other damage.

By acting early, you can significantly reduce oxidative aging caused by UV exposure and moisture, delivering the best return on investment.

Thousands of communities have extended the lifespan of their asphalt and lowered long-term costs by using HA5 High Density Mineral Bond.

Selecting the right pavement preservation treatment is essential to extending the life of your asphalt.

Here’s a clear example of how two surface treatments performed over time:

On the left, we have a Premium Polymer Emulsion Sealer (seal coat). On the right, we see the results of HA5 High-Density Mineral Bond. Both treatments were applied just days apart under similar conditions.

Fast forward four years, and the difference is striking. While the seal coat has nearly worn away, the HA5 continues to protect the asphalt by shielding it from UV rays and moisture.
